  • Death in Daylesford, by Kerry Greenwood. Allen & Unwin, $29.99.

Cosy crime seems to exert a particular tug for Christmas readers, ones eager to relax into a warm bath of genteel villains, gentle irony, gracious living and geriatric know-alls. If the 20 first Phryne Fisher mystery fails to entice a reader, then she might readily turn to the new Alexander McCall Smith, another Jacqueline Winspear or a dose of MC Beaton.
